There is no way Murray is better than Trae and Mitchell.

KD
Jokic
Embiid
Steph
Antecumpow
Lillard
Lebron (smh)
Doncic

I would also have all these guys above them.

And Kawhi. And Harden. And AD.

The Trae hate is still going strong on the MSB I see. It's ok to admit that you were wrong, fellas.

Swap Trae for Doncic and you're on to something

No

They may both be top 10 players that are still in the playoffs

Trae compared to Luka. Trae has been doing this all season. No one paid attention though.

I agree with the top 8. AD used to be but availability drops him out. Booker & Trae are fringe with potential to solidify top 10 status with championship. What if one of those guys is Finals MVP?

Trae is a great passer & creator at times also.

the point is booker is around player #20, at absolute best.

Don Mitch, shai, Jamal Murray, trae, are all players around his age who just had better seasons.

I am unsure why booker gets so much hype, the numbers just do not back it up.

Only a small fraction of total games played, that’s why I pull up the numbers when it is guys who I don’t see play all the time. The numbers include every game for every player. Booker just does not compare favorably with the other guys his age who have the same role. they are all close, except for trae who is the clear best, but Murray, Mitchell, shai, are all better than booker.

KD, Lebron, Jokic, Giannis, Harden, Steph, AD, Luka, Embiid, Kawhi (this is just random order) are the clear cut top 10 right now imo.
I would take Lillard over AD and Harden. I think he's closer to 5 than he is to 11

It's just numbers. Let them argue with them. I would bet just about everyone here didn't watch the Hawks regularly if at all before the playoffs.

I love dame too, but his #s don’t stack up to harden, nor does his win loss record, nor does his accolades. You are comparing a 6 time first team all nba guy to a 1 timer. Different tier of player.
